KEY DATES

6th/7th (Sat/Sun) April 2019: Interviews

Interviews will be held on this weekend. This is an opportunity for you to meet course leaders. Additionally, we can check your level of sewing skills. If your sewing skills could be improved then there is plenty of time to practice before starting the course.

13th/14th (Sat/Sun) April 2019: Measuring Weekend

You will come in with the person you wish to make a kilt for. They will be measured and you will choose your tartan. This allows us time for the tartan to arrive and to make preparations. Before the course starts we will prepare the tartan by doing calculations, chalk the front and back apron and pin half the pleats.
